These seven artists, Ray-Mel Cornelius, Elizabeth Hurtado, Elizabeth Mellott, Rachel Muldez, Catherine Prose, Jane Cornish Smith, and Scott Winterrowd, create work that reflects a deep appreciation for our natural environment.

Artist Leah Gose's exhibition, “Transplantations,” explores our connection to place and her personal journey to find home and stability. This exhibition is a series of photographic collages that Gose says, “uses personal connections to multiple landscapes in my search for a home as it would be defined by my sense of place.”
Gose holds a B.A. in photography from the University of Colorado, and an M.F.A. in photography from Texas Woman’s University. She is currently an Associate Professor of Photography and the Chair of the Harvey School of Visual Arts at Midwestern State University.

South of Paradise, Ramon G. Deanda
The East Fork Gallery, Trinity River Campus
August 2 - October 10, 2021
Imagine, if you will, standing amid a place engulfed by nonsense and chaos. Absurdity reigns here, common sense has long gone from this place; it is an alternative world engulfed with alternative facts. The noise, the craziness is protected by inconspicuousness, either everyone decides to ignore this or there is no interest in seeking the true truth, not alternative truths. These creatures are caught in a place that they do not comprehend. They exist somewhere just South of Paradise and just North of Hell. It may sound familiar, or maybe not. But mentally, these creatures, have trapped themselves to social psychosis. South of Paradise captures the absurdity, the foolishness that contemporary society has been stirred by all that nonsense. In these prints, my intention is to depict moments, or ideas that are relatable to anyone from anywhere by using ranch creatures as human metaphoric characters. Narcissism, corruption, deception, deception, gluttony, egocentrism and isolation are a few distinctive features that have inundated today’s human society and I evoke in this work. These animals are confined to the ranch, caught in an imaginary boundary that does not let them escape their own madness. What I can conclude from all this, is that the imminent danger for all in this planet is not building physical walls, but constructing mental boundaries.
